The Best Moisturizers to Use Under Makeup, According to Top Makeup Artists

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream ($290)

"This is the best moisturizer to use before applying makeup," New York City–based makeup artist Jen Myles, tells POPSUGAR. "It hydrates the skin and actually blends with your foundation, leaving skin looking dewy, beautiful, and glowing." Makeup artist Emily Cheng (whose regular clients include Yara Shahidi and Laura Harrier) switches between the Augustinus Bader The Cream and The Rich Cream depending on the client's skin type, saving the latter for people who have drier complexions. "I love these because once it is well-massaged in, it leaves the skin silky smooth — a perfect base for foundation."
